Subject: Re: News to me: Race compound pads for stock C4 brakes. by CentralCoaster on 2008/8/15 15:47:34 I've hear that term all the time... "overusing the brakes". I don't see any possible way that using the brakes less is going to help lap times. (Obviously assuming someone isn't slowing down too much into the corners.) If your definition of overusing is pushing the brakes past their abilities, then I personally think the brakes are just undersized for the application. These vettes simply weren't designed for road racing. My interest in the friction, as that has a huge effect on bias. You can run mismatched pads with similar temperature profiles in order to control your bias. My car is overbraked in front for example, but I can run stickier pads in back and raise the line pressure to compensate. Having a larger rotor would fix that too, but it's the expensive way if I don't need the additional heat transfer ability. |
